History:

Commissioned in 1983, USCGC Bear is the lead ship of the Famous-class medium-endurance cutters. Named after the legendary USRC Bear, a cutter known for its role in Arctic rescue missions, this modern vessel has upheld its namesake's legacy by performing diverse missions, including drug interdiction, fisheries enforcement, and search and rescue. Bear has been pivotal in counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean, seizing significant quantities of illegal drugs during its patrols.

The cutter has also participated in humanitarian missions and international exercises, enhancing cooperation with allied navies. With advanced systems and robust design, Bear continues to ensure maritime safety and uphold the Coast Guard’s mission across challenging environments.
